This is called ‘home-based’, ‘remote’ or ‘virtual’ work. With the current lock down in the UK due to Covid-19, job losses and uncertainty, now is a great time to think about home based working.

There are many home based opportunities in the UK and abroad. I have personally found and secured short and long term home-based work on the sites below. I will create another post with more sites in the near future.

I am referring to a couples from different countries and cultures.

My ethnic background is the Caribbean whilst my husband’s ethnic background is Nigeria. We both come from two different rich cultural backgrounds. At the beginning of our relationship, we noticed some clashes between us in the way we looked at different situations, our taste in food, language barriers and the list goes on. We were presented with a situation where we both had to grow in understanding, patience, empathy and respect.

The most essential thing we learned very fast is the importance of respecting each other’s cultural differences, working collaboratively and incorporating both cultures in the kitchen (cooking) and everyday life. One culture should not be forced more than the other, neither should one be more prevalent, there should be balance. Having said so, I would recommend that you do what works best for your home. For example, in your home, it may work well for one culture to be more prevalent than the other.

Are you in a inter-racial relationship or marriage? Is your husband or wife from a different race, culture or ethnic background to you? What are some of the challenges you have both faced along the way and how have you been able to overcome them?
